The American Red Cross was founded by Clara Barton and others in Washington, D.C., on
May 21, 1881. It is a humanitarian organization led by volunteers and guided by its
congressional charter and the Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross
Movement. The traditional purposes of the organization include giving relief to and
serving as a medium of communication between members of the American armed forces
and their families and providing national and international disaster relief and
mitigation.
Numerous local American Red Cross chapters were formed after the United States
entered World War I in 1917. In Liberty County, Texas, a group of citizens met at
the courthouse on January 4, 1918, to organize a chapter. Officers elected included
W.D. Partlow, chairman; Elba DeBlanc, vice chairman; Mrs. F.M. Stevens, secretary;
and Mrs. Clarence Chambers, treasurer. The chapter received its charter from the
national organization on January 15, 1918.
The Liberty County American Red Cross chapter provided social services to members of
the armed forces and their families, veterans, and civilians; provided assistance to
county residents following various natural disasters; participated in civilian war
relief efforts during World War II; offered health and safety programs to the
public; and participated in Red Cross fundraising efforts. The Liberty County Red
Cross chapter disbanded in about 2008 or 2009.
